button panel area
« on: January 23, 2025, 08:04:02 »
Hi Mathias.

I did know how to search so I ask you.
when I press CTRL the button panel area is changing to blank cells.
Is there some option to define these cells as links to directories \ folders like the usual buttons panel?
thanks in advance.

Open button editor, then activate MC main window. Now press Ctr[+Shift] and click desired button.
Alternatively, you may enable Wizard Mode, press Ctr[+Shift] and drag'n'drop some file/folder onto desired button.

You can defined up to 4 commands for each button

Normal
Ctrl / Middle mouse button
Shift / Right mouse button
Shift+Ctr

You can also turn off this feature all together if it annoys you
As Jungle say.. You edit and modify them in the button edit.

That's how I use my button bar, as shortcuts to directories.

you may enable Wizard Mode, press Ctr[+Shift] and drag'n'drop some file/folder onto desired button.
Blimey, I didn't know I could do it that easily!  :)

If you're editing the button without wizard mode the command you want is MC.Explorer.Goto PATH=[dir]. You can also specify an icon which can be different for each folder. See attached screenshot.
